The Florida manatee used to be endangered and is now protected. This protection has allowed its population to begin recovering how environmental scientist able to help the manatee population

A they determined that high pollution was poisoning the manatees and communicated with the government to have the manatees moved to
B they cleared the water of many plant species to make it easier for the man
C did you determine the high turbidity prevented manatees food from growing adequately and asked the government to control the cause of increased turbidity
D they increased water turbidity, so the manatees food supply would increase

C they determined that high turbidity prevented manatees' food from growing adequately and asked the government to control the cause of increased turbidity.

By identifying the factors that were impacting the manatee population, such as high turbidity (cloudiness in water caused by suspended particles), environmental scientists were able to communicate with the government and advocate for measures to control the cause of increased turbidity. This could include implementing regulations to reduce pollution and sediment runoff, improving land management practices, and protecting critical habitat areas. By addressing the root causes of high turbidity, scientists helped ensure that the manatee's food supply could recover and support population growth.
